Unsure if this is serious but Schadenfreude is somewhat like the satisfaction you get when someone gets karma/gets what you think they deserve (in a negative way).

Nah I think if an American killed Putin (ex-Russian or not), all hell would probably break loose

Thats cute that you say opressing minorities because that decision (to put up the flag on that day) was made unanimously.

Yeah because the Bundestag voted for it (unanimously btw)

At least in Germany, and I imagine it would be similar in the Netherlands, it would be the parliament's president because political symbols on clothing are not allowed.

  1. Those are just more quotes without context
  2. I still dont see how the would prove your point

(I would like to note that I don't agree at all with Kirk's opinions just so that doesn't get mixed up)

Whats the strawman then in this case?

That is particularly unfitting in this case though. Because the people that voted Milei are still in favour and the people that didnt are still against him. The people protesting are not the ones who voted him.

"I do not imply that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion". - Karl Popper, clarifying that statement you cited

One shouldn't kill a communist that is simply voicing their opinion, one should however kill a second Stalin.

A strawman is an argument, not a question. You fit your description of being disingenuous pretty well though I must say. Is there anything constructive u wanna say too or just this?

Nobody (?) is expecting everyone to have empathy with him, but not empathizing with someone and enjoying their murder are two different things.

Celebrating his death is a disgrace to democracy and the human dignity. And that doesnt make a person much better than him.
